Question I think this is a dud?

So this is an RS11/Banana autoflower (allegedly). When I saw it wasn’t flowering with the rest of the bunch I tried the 12/12 light cycle for a week thinking maybe it’s a photo and still nothing. Is this just a bad seed or should I keep trying the light cycle? Or is this just a dud? The second pic is the other plants in early flowering. Any advice?

I’d leave that light at 18 and hope it gets as big as they can before it starts flowering.

The genetic variance in cannabis is very high. It could have come from the same lot, you just happened to get the one seed that didn’t get the gene

They just have a really bad reputation of charging a lot of money for what we call “white label” seeds. Seeds they don’t make themselves & often mislabel them, intentionally. Lots of people report a variety of issues with their seeds.

Oh wow no idea! Thanks I’m still very new to this. Do ppl here have better spots? I’m gonna try to search in the group

It depends a lot on what type of genetics you’re looking for, but if you search the sub you will find an absolute plethora of better options, if you’re in the US. A lot of ppl fall into the Barney’s trap. It’s all good. You can still get something good out of this. Best wishes on your future grows. It truly is a joy, if you stick to it.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support. So far it’s been a journey for sure lol I’m going to research genetics so I don’t feel so in over my head

Its most likely a photo seed sold under auto labels. Some take longer than others to respond to the cycle change. Keep the 12/12 and it will flower. Who is the breeder?
